It's been a REALLY long time since I updated. Apologies for that - been working at an overnight summer camp until now. Anyways... where were we?
Ah, yes... Check-in day!
When it was almost time, everyone started getting out of their cars and walking across the street to sit and wait at the Vista Way entrance, where the security booth is. Me and Amanda didn't talk to anyone but ourselves, and sat observing. We saw lots of random people I had friended on Facebook earlier and had significant conversations with, though none of us acted like we recognized each other. It was awkward.
Checking in was so hectic and crazy, but amazing. I can feel the nerves now as I type about it. I don't even remember what the first step was, but I think it was outside in a tented area, with big fans blowing and a DJ playing Disney songs and calling out trivia questions with prizes being awarded. I knew the answer to every one, but I just wanted to go get roommates as fast as possible, so I didn't want to get out of line.
We signed some things and got our orientation books and little nametags. Then we went inside and signed up for what complex we wanted, how many rooms, etc. We chose a 3 BR in Vista Way, and got our keys. Then we got our ID pictures taken. And let me tell you, they were cute.
I don't remember the other random things done at this time, but I do remember leaving in a hurry to go see our luxury apartment. We were the first ones there. We had wood floors in the living room, with a huge window. We had nice carpeted bedrooms and a quaint kitchen. One bedroom had its own bath. The other 2 shared one. We ended up in one of the bedrooms that shared the bath, just because the other one was right inside the apartment, next to the outside, and Vista Way is party central, so it'd probably be really loud. And we didn't mind getting to know other people.
Long waiting process shortened: Roommates we shared a bathroom with named Debbie and Allison, the other two named Annii ((A-Double N-Double I)) and Steph.
WE WERE SO EXCITED.
